About the role
Drivetrain is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our team. The role involves working on challenging problems in backend application development, algorithms, system design, and serving in production.
What you’ll be doing
The underlying technical problems are challenging - how do you design abstractions that minimise custom code, as every business is a little different; how do you deal with data scattered across multiple systems and make sense of a large number of moving parts.You get to work on a cutting edge stack consisting of Java, Spring, Hibernate, Redis, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and AWS.Determine operational feasibility by evaluating analysis, problem definition, requirements, solution development and proposed solutions. Take accountability for the quality, total cost of ownership, maintainability and security of the component developed. Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback. Seek out opportunities for innovation that can be shared between multiple teams that have a willingness to experiment as well as the courage to boldly confront problems of a large complexity and scope. As an early team member, you’ll help shape our company culture, engineering practices, and the product.
Requirements
A great problem solver and is passionate about the craft of building software.Has a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems.Has at least 3 years of experience in software engineering.Experience with the above-mentioned stack would be helpful but is not necessary.Is aspirational, self-driven, and proactive.Has excellent communication skills.
